Killed By Death Records

This is the band I’m in so I let other people speak for us.

Todd from Razorcake:”…It’s something I imagine Rodney Bigenheimer losing his shit over in the early ’80s that would stand the test of time today. I’d place this right at peak top of this hard-to-conquer-genre.”.

Josh Ruthledge at Now Wave:”Swedens Flakes obviously know what far too many bands don’t know: if you’re gonna play POP, you’re gonna need GREAT SONGS! It’s not enough to merely play tuneful, melodic music. You need that all-important HIT—the kind of super-catchy smash that gets stuck in people’s heads, lodging itself so deep inside the brain that not even the world’s top neurosurgeon could get it out of there. Those of us who love good pop know what it’s like to get hooked by a song like that. But you don’t hear that kind of tune every day. It takes talent, skill, and good old-fashioned craft to cook up the perfect pop song.“.

The list of great reviews could go on and on but I stop here. 500 copies on clear vinyl and hand numbered lyric sheet.

For all you old bastards who lost your trust in HC many years ago when HC got synonumus with Metal and general crap mostly from the NY scene. Here’s a Canadian band that I got introduced to by Per Thunell(Filthy Christians, Protes Bengt and now in a great HC band called Bruce Banner) last year. I almost shit my pants when hearing this. At last a great HC band that sounds like HC and not metal!

CS vocalist sure sounds alot like FU’S John Sox. But all in all this is just plain awesome and now I’m enthusiastic about HC again too. And NO this isn’t just a rehash of the good old days. Actually this is in many parts better then many old HC bands you worship. Just admit it! Isn’t it great when kids can inspire old farts who was responsible for the inspiration for them.

Stand out track: It Takes One To Know! That tracks makes me…ARGGGGH!! For those of you who’re not too keen on the HC stuff still might enjoy: There’s Something Wrong With You. From Toronto, Canada. Website: www.careersuicide.net.

CS if you need a drummer sometime please give me a call!

Thanks to Harrys post of a Tyrades video that I’m going to post right after this I fell totally in love with this band. Hope you people can fill me in about the Tyrades. Haven’t heard anything besides this 7inch and read that the other stuff shouldn’t be as hooky as this. Sure it’s a big nod to old punk BUT this is done with taste and sounds fresh. Fuck The Briefs here’s the Tyrades!

Here’s the first 7inch from “Knugen Faller” since “English Paul” so eagerly wanted to hear it. The nod to older swedish punk is most hearable in the title track. It’s great no doubt about it but the chorus is maybe an ode to “Dagens Ungdom”? I’m really fond of Syliva Sates voice. Clear yet agressive. “Knugen Faller” also happens to have some great lyrics so it’s time to learn swedish.
